About This Home

1642 Gene Sonnier Road

Welcome to 1642 Gene Sonnier Road, where peaceful country living meets abundant space and possibility. This expansive older home offers over 2,400 sq ft of living area with a split layout, central common areas, and an inviting country feel. Featuring 4 spacious bedrooms, an extra-large living area, covered front and back areas, and ample storage, the home provides a solid foundation ready to be updated and personalized. Whether you’re seeking room for a growing family, space for a project, or your own slice of rural living, this property delivers exceptional value. Located just minutes from Delta Downs Racetrack and Casino with easy access to I-10 and the Texas state line, this is truly a diamond in the rough. The home will not qualify for government financing in its current condition. Recent upgrades significantly enhance the property’s curb appeal and functionality. The septic system has been fully updated with new drain field lines, a new lift pump, and a new aerobic pump, all completed by certified contractors. Electrical improvements include a new pole, new power boxes, and new conduit for the well pump area, with capability for future exterior lighting and 110V outdoor power. The property includes a 30x40 concrete pad from a former workshop with an attached 10x20 pad—ideal for a new shop, storage building, or RV/boat parking. An additional 10x12 pad from an old well house offers potential for new construction or extra parking. Exterior repairs and repainting of the home are scheduled to begin December 1. Ongoing yard improvements include tree trimming, removal of dead trees, and clearing of scrap metal. Situated on 6 beautiful acres, the land features a diverse assortment of mature trees including Mayhaw, Fig, Pear, Persimmon, Catalpa, Pecan, and multiple varieties of Oaks—highlighted by a large “Evangeline-shaped” Live Oak. Outdoor amenities include a fenced vegetable/flower garden with potential water access and a newly created meditation garden with a cement table and benches nestled within a tranquil grove. Call today for additional information and to schedule your showing. This is heir property and seller's have completed disclosures to the best of their ability.
